hello flashgurus!

i have a problem with AS.

i used the kirupa random move script on some quads. it works fine!🙂

now i want to make em draggable (got that working too), but the problem is, theyre still in the move() function so the dragging doesnt work properly.

i want to be able to pick one of the moving quads and put them somewhere else on the stage, where they then wont move anymore. (excuse my bad english.) i hope my problem is clear.

i attached the file for you!

tnx a ton!:)+

fusi:)

i think u should edit “move” prototype like:  
when onPress true, this.x= \_root.\_xmouse; and this.y= \_root.\_ymouse;

just an idea :hair:
